Thomas Reid, contemporary and philosophical foe of David Hume, was the chief figure in the group of philosophers constituting the Scottish school of common sense. Between 1753 and 1762, Reid delivered four Philosophical Orations at graduation ceremonies at Kings College, Aberdeen. This is the first English translation of those Latin orations, which reveal Reids philosophical opinions during his formative years.Reids influence was strong in America until the middle of the 19th century. Thomas Jefferson was a convert to the commonsense philosophy of Reid and his school, and for the first dozen academic generations after the revolutionary war, American students were steeped in the thought of Reid and his associates. Thus Reid profoundly influenced American political, literary, and philosophical culture. His philosophy served as a cornerstone of American education.

The Journal of the History of Philosophy Monograph Series
THE JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY MONOGRAPH SERIES CONsisting of volumes averaging 80 to 120 pages, accommodates serious studies in the history of philosophy that are between article length and standard book size. Editors of learned journals have usually been able to publish such studies only by truncating them or by publishing them in sections. In this series, the Journal of the History of Philosophy presents, in volumes published by Southern Illinois University Press, such works in their entirety
The historical range of the Journal of the History of Philosophy Monograph series is the same as that of the Journal itselffrom ancient Greek philosophy to the twentieth century. The series includes extended studies on given philosophers, ideas, and concepts; analyses of texts and controversies; new translations and commentaries on them; and new documentary findings about various thinkers and events in the history of philosophy.
The editors of the Monograph Series, the directors of the Journal of the History of Philosophy, and other qualified scholars evaluate submitted manuscripts.
We believe that a series of studies of this size and format fulfills a genuine need of scholars in the history of philosophy.

Introduction1
THOMAS REID WAS BORN AT STRACHAN, IN KINCARDINESHIRE, ABOUT twenty miles from Aberdeen, on April 26, 1710 (Old Style), exactly one year to the day before Hume. Like that of his contemporary, Immanuel Kant, Reid's life wholly lacked dramatic incident; he suffered no exile because of political disfavor, as had Locke, nor did he sail against foreign coasts as a member of a military expedition, as Hume did, or journey to the wilds of America to convert savages to Christianity as Berkeley did. Reid received his early education in Kincardineshire and then entered Marischal College, Aberdeen, in 1722 at the age of twelve. He received his B.A. degree in 1726. Thereafter he studied theology and was licensed as a minister in the Presbyterian Church in September, 1731. He served as Librarian of Marischal College from 1733 to 1736, and from 1737 to 1751 he served as pastor in the church at New-Machar. It was while living at New-Machar that he began studying Hume's
